A statue from Egypt, 1069-664 BCE (about 3,090-2,690 years ago), in bronze and gold.
Currently on display at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, as part of their new "Made in Egypt" exhibition. #art #archaeology #ancienthistory

The torso of a female statue in 'black bronze' inlaid with gold. The dress is a trellis pattern and sadly her head is missing. The whole thing is maybe fifteen cm tall, and the gold inlay is very shiny.
